Chutney is a side dish and goes well with almost all the main dishes. Varieties of chutneys can be prepared using different ingredients. Tomato chutney is prepared with out using coconut. It has become a habit that many people avoid coconut, thinking it is high in cholesterol. But remember that coconut contain good cholesterol and it helps to take care of your body, skin in healthy way.

I have used urid dal, Tomatoes, onion and totapuri mango.
Let us see the recipe now :

7. Grind the fried ingredients and add salt. Grind it for a minute. ( Add water if required only).

8. Shift the ground chutney to a serving dish.

9. Add mustard seasoning and serve with the main dish you prepared.

Note :

Fry onions nicely on low flame and then add the tomatoes. Water should not be used while grinding or to the ground mixture. ( The chutney turns watery). Adding garlic is optional. Use of more/less chilly is optional. Adding tamarind instead of mango pieces is optional. You can also add channa dal instead of urid dal.Time : 15 Minutes.

Now cut each chilly strait in the middle horizontally. Take away the seeds inside in them, and keep it aside.

Keep a pan on the fire. Add oil and heat. Take the cut green chilly one by one and dip it into the channa batter and fry them until golden brown and remove from the oil . Fry all the chillies and serve them with tomato sauce or Mundakki Oggarane .

Note : Do not cut the top of chilly as it is easy to hold and dip in the batter. You can also fill the chilly with rasam powder or methi powder mixture and then dip in the batter then fry in oil.
